Directions

Step one

Step two

In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer until mostly smooth.

Step three

Add the eggs and vanilla, then continue beating until they're fully incorporated.

Step four

In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add these dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until few streaks of flour remain.

Step five

Add the oats and chocolate chips and stir to combine.

Step six

Coat both sides of the waffle iron grid with nonstick spray.

Step seven

Place a heaping tablespoon of dough onto each waffle section, allowing room for the cookies to spread. Close the lid and cook until the cookies are set and beginning to brown. This won't take very long - 2 or 3 minutes, depending on the heat of your waffle iron. The cookies should be soft when you remove them and will firm up as they cool.

Step eight

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.

Step nine

Repeat Steps 6 through 8 until the remaining batter has been waffled.

Tips

You can substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of white whole wheat flour. This may make the cookies cook more quickly, so keep an eye on them.
